    Hi thomas, 

    C/S presents many problems for some and few problems for others. Possibly because of my numerous medications, or, probably because of my spinal cord problems, I have not been sexual active for about 4 years now. This has put tremendous stress on our  marriage and is not something that my beautiful wife of 48 years of marriage deserves. My gp is unsympathetic on this matter, simply telling me it's all in my mind and advising me to get viagara on the Internet.  My neurosurgeon was much the same insisting  that the spinal cord would not be responsible, the same person who insisted my urology problems were not caused by my c/s until my urologist proved otherwise.

    You have to face up to the fact that your life could well change for the worse, and you will have to make the best of it as you can.

    Mike.
